In my experience, transfer pump problems are made a lot better if you have a
full tank.  The gravity feed of a fuel tank masks the weak pump some.

I would run it full down to 1/2 full only.  Throw a 5 gal gas can in the
back and keep the tank as full as possible.  Stop and eat or take coffee
breaks for 15-min+ if you can schedule it.

My old Quantum Syncro had the fuel pump start to go & I limped it home 100
miles taking breaks like that.  'Course that was the pressure pump, not a
transfer, but still.
